Examples could be multiplied. This type of service is a great witness to the reality of Christian life and faith; but it presupposes a spirit of fellowship within the Church, a spirit which is all too rare. It means that there is mutual respect and trust between the minister and the members of his Church; and a spirit of fellowship which is outward-looking and which issues in service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stop worrying -- nobody gets out of this world alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stop worrying -- nobody gets out of this world alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This animal is very malicious; when attacked it defends itself. [Fr., Cet animal est tres mechant;  Quand on l'attaque ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2645]]></link><description><![CDATA[This animal is very malicious; when attacked it defends itself. [Fr., Cet animal est tres mechant;  Quand on l'attaque il se defend.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6265]]></link><description><![CDATA[By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, the Saviour, we renounce all mysticism. For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As in a theatre, the eyes of men, After a well-graced actor leaves the stage, Are idly bent on him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55829]]></link><description><![CDATA[As in a theatre, the eyes of men, After a well-graced actor leaves the stage, Are idly bent on him that enters next, Thinking his prattle to be tedious. -King Richard II.

If he have not the true God to bless and sustain him, he will have some false god to delude and to betray him. The Psalmist knew this, and therefore he joined so closely forgetting the name of our God and holding up our hands to some strange god. For every man has something in which he hopes, on which he leans, to which he retreats and retires, with which he fills up his thoughts in empty spaces of time, when he is alone, when he lies sleepless on his bed, when he is not pressed with other thoughts; to which he betakes himself in sorrow or trouble, as that from which he shall draw comfort and strength -- his fortress, his citadel, his defence; and has not this a good right to be called his god? Man was made to lean on the Creator; but if not on Him, then he leans on the creature in one shape or another. The ivy cannot grow alone: it must twine round some support or other; if not the goodly oak, then the ragged thorn -- round any dead stick whatever, rather than have no stay or support at all. It is even so with the heart and affections of man; if they do not twine around God, they must twine around some meaner thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you want to organize knowledge. you will be careful to base the classification upon essential qualities.
